Directions For Men is a peer support talking group based in Openshaw and Clayton, open to all men looking for a listening ear or helping hand through difficult times. The weekly group brings men together in an informal, safe space to support one another through tough times.



With over 1500 attendees in 2023, the volunteer-led organisation is ready to greet and support more men this year and get men talking.

Imran and Mike, who run the group, say

 “When you arrive you will be greeted by a smile, a handshake, and the offer of a brew to help settle any nerves or anxiety you may have. We don't shine spotlights on you, and you are free to talk as much or as little as you want.”
